Meet Sasha

Hi! My name is Sasha Laventure and I am a high school junior from Philadelphia. I am a member of multiple clubs at my school such as BSU, Model UN, and Mock Trials. I am also on the tennis team and play tennis with my younger brother occasionally (he’s too good at it). Aside from my other hobbies, I am a proud advocate for mental health especially in marginalized communities.

My Story

I remember being in 7th grade when quarantine started and saw how it took a toll on many young people's mental health including my own.

I spent hours on TikTok watching people debate over each other's lives and spreading hate across multiple platforms. After experiencing this for two long years, I began to realize how badly this affected others. This resulted in mindfulness regarding my social media presence.

Since then, I have learned new information about different communities and spent days speaking about how social media affects the young adolescent mind. This allowed me to grow as a person and help others to do the same.

I look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts on different topics and I hope you all look forward to reading my blog posts!
